Ferrell shoots down 'Elf' sequel because he's too old

Will Ferrell has refused to star in a sequel to festive favourite 'Elf'.
The 'Anchorman 2' star thinks he is too old to dress like an elf once again and would look "pathetic" in costume if he reprised his role for a sequel to the 2003 comedy in which he starred as Buddy Hobbs.
